How do I use the MouseListener

[Julzzey]

Hi, I'm trying to figure out the MouseListener, but I'm lost. I have a grid that when I click on it I need to get the x and y coordinates. Any help would be appreciated. I'm new at Java and I can't figure out what class to extend and all that fun stuff. Thanks!

Hi Julzzey:

First, as jfryer stated, use the resources from java.sun.com, tutorials and api. I'm sure you can find the information there.

check this link:

http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/post1.0/ui/mouselistener.html

I recommend you to chek the MouseAdapter class, you can extend it and override the method of your interest. You can get the x, y coordinates from the MouseEvent and then do something in your code.

See:
